Derry has made a final shortlist that will be used to determine the best place in the North of Ireland.

The competition is being run by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) Northern Ireland.

The winner will be decided by public vote.

Beverly Clyde, Chair of RTPI Northern Ireland, said: “The competition has reminded us of the passion we have for places we love.

"The finalists, places clearly loved by the public, have been protected, carefully planned or improved by the planning system. I encourage everyone to get behind their favourite place to ensure it wins," she said.
